"Great little do anything SUV"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Window was cracked from a rock, and spread fast.

Weather strip around passenger door is coming off.

General comments?

This car has been perfect. I take it off-road almost every weekend. mine is stock, and it will go just about anywhere. now I wouldn't go rock crawling with it, but for some good old digging, dirt roads, etc it is great. I have had this thing on 2 wheels, every combination of 2 wheels. it gets about 22mpg in town, not great for a 2.6 v6 but good enough. the back seat is smaller than I would like.. but it works. I trust this car to take me anywhere common sense would allow, and even some places it wouldn't. my biggest complaint is freeway speeds are hard to maintain. past 65 and you have to punch it to keep up your speeds on any sized hill, though it will make it up without losing much speed, just a lot of gas. I am 6' and fit in this car just fine, given its small size this is nice.

Very well written and useful, considering a Vitara, thanks for the insight!!!

You are right on.. I would have written the exact same review. A car seat is a VERY tight fit in the back seat, and it could use a 3.2 V6 instead of the 2.6... I would hate to see the 4 they put in some.
